Applications
50-pin Centronics to 36-pin HPCN SCSI cables were widely used throughout the 1990s to connect external SCSI-2 peripherals — including flatbed scanners, tape backup drives, CD-ROM drives, and removable storage devices — to workstations and servers equipped with SCSI host adapters. The 50-pin Centronics connector was common on older SCSI devices and host adapters, while the 36-pin HPCN (High-Pitch Centronics) Mini connector was adopted by many peripheral manufacturers as a more compact alternative. These cables remain useful today for legacy SCSI equipment maintenance, data recovery from older storage media, and lab or archive environments that still run SCSI-based hardware.
This SCSI 50-Pin Centronics to 36-Pin HPCN cable is in good used condition. The photos show the cable still in its original plastic bag, and the connectors appear clean with no bent or missing pins visible at either end. Normal handling wear may be present. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
